tool, Shear (Skew) tool, and Free Transform tool. The Transform panel (Window > Object & Layout > Transform) and the Control panel also provide the functionality of the Transform tools. In addition, these panels include controls for changing the position of a graphic within its frame and for specifying the reference point used when applying transformations. The Control and Transform panel menus also include commands for flipping a graphic horizontally and/or vertically and for rotating a graphic within its frame. The Object menu also contains the Transform commands, as well as the following commands for working with graphics and graphics frames: Effects, Corner Options, Object Layer Options, Clipping Path, and Image Color Settings. Can I change the color of an imported graphic? You can change the color of imported black-and-white and grayscale 46 Adobe InDesign CS3 | Conversion guide graphics, but not of color graphics. To apply a color to a black-and-white or grayscale graphic, select the graphic with the Direct Selection or Position tool, and then click a color in the Swatches panel or create a color in the Color panel. Optionally, you can enter a Tint value in the Swatches panel. Note: If you create a color in the Color panel, you must add the color to the Swatches panel by choosing Add To Swatches in the Color panel menu before you can apply a tint. what else can I do with imported pictures? InDesign includes several special effects you can apply to any object, stroke, fill, or content (graphic or text), including drop shadow and inner shadow, inner and outer glow, bevel and emboss, feathered edges, blending modes, and opacity. For more information, see pages 48-53. You can also work smarter and faster with your imported pictures by using (and re-using) object styles, which are similar to character and paragraph styles. For more information, see pages 58-59. You can use an object style to quickly modify the appearance of an object by applying several attributes, such as a fill color, a stroke, and transparency effects. A B C A. A Photoshop image is placed in front of another image. B. A 40% opacity value is applied to the frontmost image. C. the background image is visible through the foreground image.
what’s the most efficient way to modify a Photoshop or Illustrator file after placing it into InDesign? To modify a placed Photoshop or Illustrator graphic in its original application, hold down Option in Mac OS or Alt in Windows, and double-click the graphics frame within InDesign. (You can also select a graphic or its frame, and then choose Edit > Edit Original.) The original file opens in the source application. After you make and save your changes, the placed artwork is automatically updated in InDesign. You can also open a selected graphic in its source application by clicking the name of the graphic in the Links panel (Window > Links) and then choosing Edit Original from the panel menu. how can I tell the status of imported graphics in my InDesign layouts? You can use the Links panel to identify, select, monitor, and update imported graphics files. The Links panel displays a list of all imported graphics and displays warning icons for graphics that have been modified or are missing. The Links panel menu includes commands for sorting the graphics listed in the panel. The options are: Sort By Name, Sort By Page, Sort By Type, and Sort By Status. Problem-Free Printing Here are a few tips that will help you avoid potential problems before you print an InDesign document that includes placed graphics: • Make sure you provide your printer/ prepress provider with all the files required to print your InDesign layouts in the formats they prefer. If your printer/prepress provider prefers native InDesign files, you must provide all placed graphics along with the InDesign file. Some providers prefer PDF files for final output and will let you know what PDF version to use. InDesign exports Acrobat® 4 (PDF 1.3), Acrobat 5 (PDF 1.4), Acrobat 6 (PDF 1.5), Acrobat 7 (PDF 1.6) files, and Acrobat 8 (PDF 1.7), as well as PDF/X-1a and PDF/X-3 files. • If your printer/prepress provider prefers to receive PDF 1.3 or PDF/X files, any objects with transparent effects, such as drop shadows or opacity, are flattened in the PDF file, and your printer/prepress provider will not be able to make any changes to those transparent objects. • Use the Preflight feature (File > Preflight) before handing off an InDesign document to a printer/prepress provider. This utility warns of problems that may prevent a document from printing as desired, such as missing graphics, or a mix of RGB and CMYK graphics. • Use the Package feature (File > Package) to gather the files required to hand off to a printer/prepress provider. For more information about the Preflight and Package features, see pages 68-73. when you create a package, you can choose the files you want to include. when you preflight a document, InDesign warns you of possible printing problems.
